Tip60 HAT activators as therapeutic modulators for Alzheimer's disease.
Article in Nature communications, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 8 papers.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
Reduced histone acetylation in the brain causes transcriptional dysregulation and cognitive impairment that are key initial steps in Alzheimer's disease (AD) etiology. Unfortunately, current treatment strategies primarily focus on histone deacetylase inhibition (HDACi) that causes detrimental side effects due to non-specific acetylation. Here, we test Tip60 histone acetyltransferase (HAT) activation as a therapeutic strategy for selectively restoring cognition-associated histone acetylation depleted in AD by developing compounds that enhance Tip60's neuroprotective HAT function. Several compounds show high Tip60-binding affinity predictions in silico, enhanced Tip60 HAT action in vitro, and restore Tip60 knockdown mediated functional deficits in Drosophila in vivo. Furthermore, compounds prevent neuronal deficits and lethality in an AD-associated amyloid precursor protein neurodegenerative Drosophila model and remarkably, restore expression of repressed neuroplasticity genes in the AD brain, underscoring compound specificity and therapeutic effectiveness. Our results highlight Tip60 HAT activators as a promising therapeutic neuroepigenetic modulator strategy for AD treatment.
